Ground Your Roots
At this time, the cold is at its peak, and all things withdraw and conserve. Through Root Chakra healing and mindful eating with warm glutinous rice, rediscover a sense of grounding, stability, and belonging amid the deep cold.
Minor Cold Solar Term
"Minor Cold falls in the twenty-third and twenty-ninth days, when cold freezes the earth and chills to the bone." At this time, the cold is at its peak, all things withdraw and conserve. The body's yang energy draws inward while yin energy grows—a critical phase for returning to one's roots and gathering strength. Research shows that over 70% of Hong Kong people experience noticeable psychological lows during this season. This phenomenon cannot be simply attributed to climate; our bodies are calling for more care and attention.

Root Chakra
The Root Chakra is located at the base of the spine. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this area is closely related to the functions of the 'Kidney' and 'Spleen.' TCM refers to this area as the seat of the 'Gate of Life Fire,' the foundation of the body's yang energy. When the Root Chakra energy is balanced, we feel grounded, stable, and full of vitality. If the energy is insufficient or blocked, we may experience anxiety and lowered immunity.
